A Weird, Weird Philadelphia

Dan Gross reports today the co-owner of Cavanaugh’s River Deck and two employees were arrested Wednesday night for beating up the DJ at the bar.

Apparently, during DJ Cuervo’s set, he said he was going to Zee Bar afterward. This enraged the owner, who allegedly called him a spic (even though he’s black and Irish) and chased him out of the bar, then beat him up. Somehow, this made DJ Cuervo retire from deejaying. Also, the ex-DJ is really upset about a Myspace bulletin offering drink specials on Cuervo and free flip flops.

Oh, yeah, and the other co-owner of Cavanaugh’s River Deck was arrested on Sunday. But, still, the biggest story in Gross’ column today is this:

“Weird” Al Yankovic shopped the new Target on City Avenue yesterday morning.
